cape may point

(10x14 sheet)
I'll be exhibiting my paintings in the local library May 09 and have been planning to do eight new paintings for the show: four of the wildlife management area in town and four of the park in Cape May Point, featuring the WWII bunker and the ruins of the old lighthouse (which I think aren't there anymore).



I painted this one first, yesterday, nearly to completion, and worked on the bottom two today. Seeing how these two are coming, I think I'll have to go back and start over with the first one, using stronger washes.




The wildlife management area scenes are not coming along as I envisioned them! I drew four scenes and have started painting two of them, but I think I'll probably start over!


This composition is pretty weak; adding a slanting, slim tree trunk or two may help.
And below, a better scene, but the washes are so weak and the tree in the foreground so ungainly ... I think I'll have to begin again. Stronger, next time!
